I think I have a bully

[ValMarley08]

So....I think the bully is my Hypo Tang. She is always very jumpy when I hold her but I have noticed marks on my other two females and its odd....just on the top of the tail....no where else. they have been together since last dec so I dont know what the problem is now. has anyone else ever had this problem?

That could be best if you have them on their own tanks. I dont have two leo but people say theu are not soical animals but females fine if have their own things (bowl huts hdies etcs)

Hmm that could be bully. D:

 

[ValMarley08]

they have soooo many hides and where do i find them...all 4 of them in the same freakin thing! lol

 

[GrimmyX15]

Maybe due to size of tank? What gallon of your tank? D:

are u sure she's female and not a male trying to mate with the other two??

 

[ValMarley08]

its an exoterra 24''x18''x18'' there is alot of room in there. they have all been together since dec and this is just now happening and its just odd to me

I would stretch up to a 36" long for 4 females, I mean I keep 2 females in a 3ft long.

Roger....she is a proven breeder female

If you have several hides available, and they're bunched together in one - it could certainly be a case of bullying. Try separating the culprit in her own enclosure for a few weeks. See how the clan adjusts and keep a close eye on everyone. Then try re-introducing her again and see if it starts up again. She may just need to be housed on her own. We've had a few females in the past that acted the same way.
